ASBURY PARK, N.J. -- As his arena dates in Newark and New York City draw closer, Paul McCartney reportedly had dinner with his wife on Labor Day weekend at a landmark Asbury Park restaurant.

"I was having dinner at Jimmy's in Asbury Park last night, and when I looked up from my stuffed artichoke, there was Sir Paul, Nancy and a few friends being seated at a table across from us," Frank Mozino of Little Silver posted on Facebook on Monday. "What are the odds?"

McCartney's wife, Nancy Shevell -- who grew up in Metuchen -- has family who live in nearby Deal. McCartney himself is rumored to have a house there.

The couple was reportedly seen having lunch earlier at the exclusive Jersey Shore community's Hollywood Golf Club.

Shevell's grandfather had a dry goods store on Cookman Avenue in Asbury Park that eventually became Walters Department Store.
